Won’t be the case for much longer if the EU gets their way, I’m glad to say.

Yeah r/privacy was toxic towards n00bs back on reddit as well. Sorry you got blasted for asking a question.

That would be incredibly stupid to do that for the commerical real estate industry alone. The online retail industry alone is equal in size, and that doesn’t even take into the dozens of other similarly large industries that would become too risky to exist without TLS and other encryption schemes.

I think it’s significantly more likely that the effort is actually genuinely about muh terrorism/muh pedos than I about protecting landlords that are dwarfed by the industries this kinds crap would undermine.

I didn’t even realize votes are public here. On Reddit I’ve got that shit hidden because it’s extremely personal data. Just through upvote/downvote patterns you can figure out what someone’s likely political beliefs are, how religious they are, what their hobbies are, what disgusts them, what arouses them, what they find offensive…

It’s genuinely insane that this stuff is public at all. I’m probably gonna stop using Lemmy because that shit being public is just way too dangerous imo, and I don’t trust myself enough to not participate if I keep coming back.

If only reddit didn’t commit seppeku, then I’d never have even considered something so poorly thought out.

I’m in a few different subs on Reddit, but the ones id love to see the most here would probably be:

r/stellaris r/crusaderkings r/kotor r/fireemblem and r/talesfromtechsupport

Yup. After reading about Apollo going the way of the sink I took a quick glance over the Boost for Reddit subreddit, and while it doesn’t look like they’ve announced their shutdown it’s realistically gonna happen unless Reddit backs out last second.

I saw a thread there where someone recommended Lemmy so here I am. Gotta say so far it feels just like Reddit did, in a good way.
